Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Yeah, not just "no" but "hell no", Cali.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yep. And now I know why the host offered to walk me to my car. Anyway, the food and dinner company were lovely, and now I'm looking at my partly trimmed tree. I love drinking my coffee in the morning with just the tree lights on. The LEDs are really bright.

Jessica, so glad you are all ok.

Calli - no way no how.

Sue, I am on Skype and have sent you a contact request.

ita, I have memory of someone I know getting a pair of red snakeskin pants with like black demarkations on the scales. We did go shopping that time I came to Detroit, didn't we?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Turkey took well longer than planned but all was delicious. I counted, and we left out four starches that our families usually serve: rolls, rice, mashed potatoes, and sweet potato and apple casserole. Like them all, but did not miss them.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

It felt good to have nothing planned to do all day besides meals with the family. I actually had time to sit down and draw for non-work purposes today, for the first time in weeks: [link]

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So, the first major holiday since my mother's passing went relatively seamlessly: no drama (unlike last year), no food catastrophes, no shortages. In the end, I made: the rolls, the potatoes, the stuffing, and two of the pies. I bought, brined, and stuffed the turkey; supplied the wine; and cooked the veggies. My sister did all the setup and hosting, and made one of the pies and the salad. My BIL carved the turkey and did lots of cleaning.

We had 12: three siblings & my father; spouses and in-laws of my sister & brother; my adorable niece; and my climbing partner (who took all the family madness in good stride). Three pies (pumpkin, maple-walnut, and apple-cranberry), with adequate leftovers for breakfast. I came away with leftover turkey, potatoes, stuffing, and gravy -- enough for several meals, I suspect.

NOM. I hope everyone else's Thanksgiving was as tasty as mine.

Now I'm home, in sweatpants with a small glass of scotch, wishing I'd remembered to record the Muppet Thanksgiving special. Darn it.
